On windows, we recommend the ![anaconda python distribution](http://continuum.io/downloads). We’ve also had luck with ![enthought](http://www.enthought.com). git clone or unzip the source to a suitable directory, and add an approptiate PYTHONPATH environment variable.

conda install scipy=0.12

OSX

Everything appears to work out-of-the box using ![enthought](http://www.enthought.com) on osx Mavericks. Download/clone GPy, and then add GPy to your PYTHONPATH

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install sphinx

A LaTeX distribution is also required to compile the equations. Note that the extra packages are necessary to install the unicode packages. To compile the equations to PNG format for use in HTML pages, the package dvipng must be installed. IPython is also required. On Debian-based systems, this can be achieved as follows:
